At approximately 11,000 miles the steering on the car became "notchy". When making minor corrections the steering wheel will lock and require extra steering pressure to overcome stiction in the system, at which point it jumps a bit past the intended position. Grand movements (turning a residential corner) are relatively symptom free. Symptoms are most noticeable when traveling at speeds above 3…

Within the last two weeks I have noticed that when I reach cruising speeds of above 45-50mph my steering wheel will lock up when going in a straight line. It requires extra effort to get the steering wheel to respond. It sort of pops back into being able to steer. This is particularly unnerving when trying to make subtle adjustments when driving at cruising speeds. The component has not been c…
Steering wheel gets very stiff and while driving and I do not feel safe driving my car. I already took it in to the dealership for a diagnostic but they said everything is fine. They didn’t repair anything and my car is still having the same issue.
Extra resistance and steering effort when using steering wheel to make small corrections to stay in lane; steering effort feels “sticky.” Occurs after approximately 20 minutes of freeway driving.
At speeds above 45 MPH, especially during cold weather, the steering wheel behaves in a "sticky" manner. It requires substantially more force to turn it from the center position.
The steering is malfunctioning. When driving at medium to high-speed, the steering wheel feels somewhat sticky. This is most noticeable when on a straight stretch, or on a slow curve. When the car was new, the steering was responsive to subtle inputs. Now, the wheel seems stuck, and it requires an unexpected amount of Torque to overcome the stickiness. This has not caused an accident, but causes a…
Hi. Our 1-owner, 13,500-mile, 2023 Integra started experiencing “sticky steering” back in October 2023, which has gotten worse. It happens at all vehicle speeds, and in each of the three driving modes. It has gotten annoying, and seems quite unsafe. Especially for our inexperienced son (18). Sudden correction/overcorrection of steering input has the vehicle wandering off line, and jerking side to…
While at cruising speeds the steering rack seems to grab when doing micro adjustments to keep straight and I have to apply more pressure which causes a small jerk in the steering
When driving at highway speeds, the steering of the car feels like it gets stuck, especially when trying to change lanes.. When turning the steering wheel to change lanes, it doesn’t do anything until you give it a little tug more to change lane. There’s also a problem when going over 40MPH over a slight bend, the car doesn’t turn until you tug the wheel more to whichever way the road is going. …
When driving on the freeway, I started noticing the steering would stick when attempting to make slight movements to follow the changes in the road. I would have to put more effort into my steering to correct it and it would feel sticky immediately. This happens on the whole trip where I'm constantly having to correct it slightly left and slightly right, with more effort, as if the power steering …
